NEW DELHI: A set of digital artworks by transgender artist FEWOCiOUS has sold for $2.6 million in an auction conducted by the New York arm of British auction house Christie’s. “Hello, I'm Victor (FEWOCiOUS) and This Is My Life realized USD $2,162,500, closing today after competitive bidding from more than 20 collectors," the company said in a statement on Wednesday. This is not the first time FEWOCiOUS, whose real name is Victor Langlois, has made bank through an NFT sale. The Christie’s auction, on June 23, crashed the auction house’s website as buyers rushed to register their bids for the NFT. “Marking another important moment for the growing digital art market, the collectors of FEWOCiOUS’ work sold at Christie’s will have an opportunity to meet the artist in-person," the auction house said in a press release.
